Hi !
I think the image is displayed until the kernel begin its work.
You set the PROMPT option, so syslynux wait TIMEOUT 1/10s , and then
boot the kernel.
So that's why you see you image during 2/10 seconds.
If you want to display an image while the kernel boot, maybe you should
look at the Linux Progress Patch.
You may also set the TIMEOUT to a bigger value, but i'm not sure that's
what you want.
regards,
sylvain
